I'll be the old stodger voice and mention that taking 5 minutes from time to time to not be stimulated is good for mental health, and apparently creativity too.
... And then I'll put in my vote for Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. (In F-droid as Puzzles, app by Chris Boyle)
Just a nice collection of quick, simple puzzles. A perfect time killer. It's a staple that I've got on all the devices in my old 2000s PDA collection since it was also built for Windows Mobile and PalmOS.
It was WHAT? Time to dust off my HP Jornadas
This is the absolute goat of logic puzzle games. It has all of them offline, free, with multiple difficulties. Simon Tatham's Puzzles
Tatham's puzzles are great!
Also in this vein, PySol FC has an exstensive library of solitaire card and tile games. Definitely worth checking out.
You can download full crosswords on the NYT Games app!
If you like chess puzzles: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/jwtc.android.chess/
It's a full-featured chess app, but what's nice about it is that it's also got a large amount of short chess puzzles that are available offline (unlike lichess).
I have ebooks on my phone that I read when I can't get Internet.
What apps do you use to read your ebooks?
Libby for books from the library. Moon reader for other epubs.
Koreader on FDroid.
Putting in my vote for Librera reader here. Also on f-droid

5 minutes, not 5 hours, lol, love this game but deffo is a quick way to lose an hour
You're probably right. I was comparing it to Factorio.
Would you ever recommend Factorio to someone who asked for a good 5 minute game!? One of my favorite games, but doesn't fit the bill for me
I little too specific but when I have spare time I use AnkiDroid to memorize kanji.
